I wonder if a browser vendor could host a repository of common libraries? With a limited number of versions available that changes only at the same time as the browser, maybe it wouldn't leak much info. It would be almost like including the code in the browser.

Isn't that almost like all browsers including a language with the browser?

It is, except the feature is downloaded on demand.

Users need to trust the browser's producer anyway.
